"Hiss...huh..." Tang Mo enjoyed the smell of cigarettes comfortably and looked down at the development report on Black Dragon Island.
There are now more than 6,000 immigrants on the island. If he works harder, the total population may increase to more than 10,000 in a few days.
Now these people almost all need to feed themselves with food shipped from Bunas port, but they will soon become self-sufficient next year.
After all, Black Dragon Island is so rich that cultivating it is like digging a gold mine. Tang Mo can even roughly calculate that it is more than enough to support 1 million people.
A road is being built on Heilong Island, and Roger hopes to connect the newly discovered harbor with the town he built when he landed.
At the same time, the refinery has started production, refining the oil day and night, turning it into chemical raw materials, gasoline and other materials that Tang Mo needs.
These are all good news. As the days passed, Tang Mo's original accumulation began to become richer.
He hoarded a lot of gasoline in Heilong Island, as well as in Bunas. This laid a good foundation for him to start manufacturing cars in the future.
In short, for Tang Mo, everything is developing in a good direction.
The knock on the door interrupted Tang Mo's thoughts. He raised his head, holding a cigarette between his fingers and ordered: "Come in!"
Leo walked in from the door. The old man looked quite good. After all, his Silver Fox Tavern has never been so glorious since the day it was born.
Now, his men are running rampant throughout almost the entire Kingdom of Leyte, and his influence in Sussus is second to none.
The construction of the intelligence network far exceeded Tang Mo's expectations, and even in the royal city of Sussus, Datang Group's telegraph machines have begun to be put into use.
This thing is still not for sale. Except for Miss Alice from Northridge who bought two of them through personal connections, all the remaining telegraph machines are operated by Silver Fox Company.
Sending a message from Sussus to the Kingdom of Leyte charges one gold coin per word. This price can be said to be sky-high.
But... users don't care about such charges, and business is even in short supply. Not only the top executives of the two countries frequently use telegraphs to communicate, but even some wealthy businessmen will use this tool to contact their branches or subordinates.
However, everyone knows that although telegraph machines can be used to quickly contact distant places, for the Silver Fox Group, confidentiality is out of the question.
Except for some code words that have been negotiated in advance, the content transmitted through the telegraph machine is transparent, which makes Silver Fox Company extremely powerful in gathering intelligence.
Any valuable intelligence will be sent back to Bunas to be summarized, then classified and processed by dedicated personnel, and archived.
Now, in the Datang Group's intelligence room in Bunas, more than 300 people from Silver Fox are in charge of this work.
They were all women, and they had signed a contract that was stricter than a contract of sale. They hardly left the factory once a month. They sorted the documents gathered here together, bound them into volumes, and put them on high bookshelves.
As long as someone calls it, they will quickly find everything relevant and send the useful parts to the people who need it.
More than a year ago, Leo never dreamed that he, a sinner, could be in charge of such a huge dark empire.
He never expected that he would meet a master like Tang Mo when he sought refuge. Now he even doesn't want to return to his homeland, because he could become the uncrowned king of another place.
This is actually the case for most people... If they could become the president of the United States, who would be willing to go back to the Congo and become a village chief...
"Master, about three hours ago, some... people landed at Bunas Port." Leo stood in front of Tang Mo's desk and reported the report.
"Huh?" Tang Mo knew that if Leo could come, things would not be particularly simple.
"They are orcs. They carry weapons, and they started to inquire about things related to us as soon as they landed." Leo explained to Tang Mo: "Based on the information we obtained before, after the Kingdom of Gales was destroyed by the Kingdom of Yangmu,
, the king committed suicide, but some members of the royal family were missing.”
"Gales...interesting, here to seek revenge..." Tang Mo flicked the ash into the ashtray, with a smile on his face: "Tell me, these orcs who came to seek revenge, and my safety
Troop...which one is more powerful?"
"They are not on the same level at all." Leo replied confidently: "Judging from their activities, they have not undergone any counter-reconnaissance training. Their frontal combat effectiveness may not be low, but they are already fish in the net."
Tang Mo thought for a while, nodded and ordered: "Let them continue to inquire, find someone to keep an eye on them! Don't alert others, I want to see how much noise they can make."
"What if they sabotage the driver in Bunas?" Leo did not leave, but asked again.
"Then deal with it, we don't have time to play with the children, do we?" Tang Mo was silent for two seconds and said to Leo: "If they have the guts to come directly to trouble me, then let them do it, I will
I still appreciate people with courage. But if they are just here to cause trouble and cause destruction, then they are just rubbish, and I don’t need rubbish.”
"I understand!" Leo then exited Tang Mo's office. After Leo left, Tang Mo immediately called for Weiss.
"Let the guards keep an eye on these orcs. If they come to kill me, let them in and catch them. If they don't come, the matter will be left to Leo's people to handle." Tang Mo gave the order directly.
Weiss nodded, indicating that he had remembered it. Then he hesitated and did not leave immediately. Instead, he curiously pointed at Tang Mo's cigarette and asked, "Is this thing really that good?"
"You don't understand..." Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a concealed smile.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wes curled his lips, as if he was not fooled, but said: "Tch... when you have more of these things, I will give them to you too."
Shall I try it?"
"Ha! Okay!" Tang Mo suddenly remembered that when he was in school, his friends were hiding in the toilet introducing each other to smokers, as if they were offline. So the corner of his mouth raised, and the fake smile turned into a real one.
smile.
Weiss saw that Tang Mo seemed to be lost in some memories, so he whispered and walked out: "I'm going to do something."
Tang Mo subconsciously warned them again: "Let them pay attention to their safety and stop being careless."
"Yes!" Wes walked to the door and responded before closing the door.
…
"Your Majesty... it's better to leave such dangerous matters to your subordinates." In the hotel, a burly orc begged angrily to the thin young orc sitting on the bed.
"Last time, I left the matter to you... but you allowed my father to perish." The young orc wiped the Cyric flintlock in his hand and said without raising his head.
His words were very soft, but they immediately made several irritable guards and officers blush and stop making noise.
Then, he continued to speak: "Don't call me your majesty. Our country has been destroyed. Before the restoration of the country, there will be no majesty."
"But..." Several orc officers and guards were about to speak, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"I don't mean to blame you... I know you are all loyal ministers." His Royal Highness, the former Crown Prince of the Orc Kingdom of Galles, comforted these subordinates and said: "I just... can't suppress my own anger... those who let me
All of us who have lost our motherland should get retribution!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! They all should pay the price!" Several guards and officers immediately agreed.
"However, our current situation is not good." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced in the direction of the door and asked with some worry: "You should have noticed that we have been targeted."
His senses were keen, but even though he was careful, he still couldn't find definite evidence that they had been targeted.
It's just that everyone here seems to be looking at them with evil intentions, sizing them up, and monitoring their every move.
Therefore, he spoke depressedly and expressed his worries: "I don't know who is targeting us, but someone is indeed watching us. If they have bad intentions, we will be in danger."
An orc officer comforted his master: "There are not many orcs here. It is normal for us to be targeted."
"Maybe, but we can't be too optimistic. Gentlemen, we can't make any mistakes now." The crown prince sighed and nodded.
The rest of the guards and officers looked at him, and a few asked: "So, Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Putting the musket on his waist, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince replied: "The plan remains unchanged. Now that we have found out the location of the bastard's factory that sells weapons to the Poplar Kingdom... then tonight, we
Just act!”
"Yes!" Everyone lowered their voices and replied in unison.
After looking at everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to everyone: "Remember! Every life of yours is precious! I can no longer bear the bad news of losing any loyal minister of the Kingdom of Galles, so
You must protect your lives no matter what the circumstances! Do you understand?"
"Ming, I understand..." These orcs were hesitant and sparsely answered their master's instructions.
The crown prince once again used a stern tone and lowered his voice to ask: "Do you understand!?"
"I understand!" This time, everyone answered firmly.
"Very good!" The prince nodded with satisfaction: "Go and prepare something to eat, and wait for those who went to inquire about the news to come back..."
